Chapter 258: Recommendation
Chapter 259: Recommendation
Although it seems that it ended in a peaceful ending, everyone knows that the wariness of each other will only get worse. At least the Seven Seas Trading Company began to keep the two Huya ships cruising at the mouth of the harbor at all times, and refused to stop all the ships in the harbor. The various garden fairs and the like that were originally agreed upon, but it seems that they were not affected at all, and they continued for the next few days, but the atmosphere became more and more lively.
"My lord," after returning to Ye Tao's mansion, Chen Kai said to Ye Tao gratefully: "The guilty minister of the country is really not worth gambling with the fortune of the country. ”
Ye Tao shook his head and said, "You are not as important as the Chunnan people think, but you are much more important than you expected. I don't care what your ancestors did, but since you are the person that the Daoming Sect wants to kill, you are my friend. Have you forgotten my ranking? ”
Chen Kai smiled a little miserably. "My lord, in the dungeon, the group of people who took me down and the group who tortured me later don't seem to come from the same way."
"Naturally," Ye Tao pursed his lips and said, "Chang Hongquan will not be so generous to poke your affairs out, it can only be the other party." I don't understand this Chunnan Dynasty situation, but it seems to be ...... It's a lot of fun. You should resent me, I made a deal with them, and gave them almost two hours to torture you. Only by convincing them quickly that you don't know enough is important, or that they can't get anything out of your mouth, will they be able to give you to me in exchange for the benefits of the agreement. I have to give them this time. …… This is suggested by a madman, and if you feel that you have been beaten in vain, you are advised to go to him. ”
Chen Kai smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity...... I'm afraid of death, and I'm afraid of being beaten. Fear of pain. They didn't make a few moves, so I did. My lord, this time, it's not worth it for you to save me. ”
"Isn't it worth it?" Ye Tao smiled and said, "What about knowing the story of you and your ancestors?" Isn't it all in that Hidden Box? Now they know that I am the only one who has the Vault, and I should be able to open it, and that I will pick up the documents and treasures in the future. Is it? …… That's enough. Instead of getting a lot of people to protect you, it's better to let them stare at me, anyway, there are a lot of people staring at me, not bad for this side. Moreover, how can they know the story of your Chen family? Since Chunnan has always advertised that he is the orthodoxy of inheriting the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth and has the blood of the imperial family, the descendants of the imperial family of the Orthodox Sect over there have a lot of headaches compared to Chunnan than our Dongping. His Majesty often said that Tanjia was born as a bandit. Nothing to be aware of, these statements seem to be too good now. And you? What if your story is well known? No matter what you do, you can't erase your current hatred for Xiling, Xuanru, and Daoming Sect, nor can it erase the upbringing you have received for so many years and your talents. Isn't it? ”
Chen Kai asked with a wry smile: "The adults are promoted below, with their identity and background in the ground, can they really find an official and a half-position to do it?" ”
Ye Tao asked in surprise: "Why can't you?" If not ready to use you. I'm taking you all the way, and I'm going to take you back to Yunzhou together, what are you going to do? It's better to send you to Danyang together, and I won't have the trouble I have now. ”
Chen Kai was stunned. "Your Excellency...... What are you going to ask me to do? ”
"You also said that your Chen family is guilty of personal fraud. Bribery, transfer of property, and concealment of truth and falsehood are all familiar, right? Ye Tao raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little ridiculous.
"Yes. It's a family history. Chen Kai replied calmly.
"Then you know a lot about the various operations of doing business, contracts, financial management and other things, right?" Ye Tao continued to ask.
"Yes. The generations of the Chen family's children have survived for these things. Chen Kai responded firmly to Ye Tao's gaze.
"With your status as the eleventh grandson of Chen Jia, I'm afraid you don't get very well received, but you don't have to care so much about the fake response in officialdom, right? At least. You shouldn't be afraid of offending people, right? Ye Tao's third question is becoming more and more confusing.
"It may be an exaggeration to say that my Chen family is the public enemy of the world, but it is not far off." Chen Kai sneered and said, not dissatisfied.
"So, have you heard of the three civil affairs departments of Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion, do you think you can do it?" Ye Tao asked seriously.
"The ...... of the Third Civil Affairs Department" Chen Kai didn't know what to do. He has talked with Feng Hao a lot these days, and naturally knows what kind of organization the three departments of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion are. This is used to clarify the rule of officials. Institutions that bind officials. With quite a lot of power, there will be a great deterrent among the officials in Yunzhou. And this position. Needless to say, it's extremely difficult to do. If you want to respond to the situation, hello, hello, everyone, this position is naturally a very convenient place to make money, and someone will send it to the door without opening your mouth. But if you want to do this errand well, it's not just a matter of offending people, I don't know how many people will be cursed behind it, and I don't know how many people will fall to the ground because of him. Ye Tao was actually going to let him do this errand?
"The errand of the Third Civil Affairs Department is naturally not easy to do. You have to be able to withstand temptation, you have to be ruthless, but you have to be able to stay calm and rational at all times, and you have to know your wealth and your assets very well. This position is so important that I haven't been able to figure out who it would be better to hand it to. Then it occurred to me that you might be a good fit. Ye Tao smiled and said, "You...... All right...... That's a family history, I don't think it's a bad study at all. Go back and talk to Tan Weixin and look at the books she wrote. Perhaps you will understand that what you have mastered is not an evil skill, but also a profound skill in the operation and transformation of wealth. No technology, no ability, is completely evil or completely justified. This is true for murder, arson, stealing chickens and dogs, and the same is true for operating wealth. I think you can let those corrupt officials have nothing to hide. Moreover, it is very reassuring to use you. Your identity determines that it is not easy for others to woo you or you want to woo others. And although you are now the only one left in the Chen family, and you have no long things, this point is particularly reassuring. Anything you get that is more than your salary, it's too obvious to hide anything. I believe in your ability to convert wealth and conceal the truth and reveal the false, but when there is nothing to transform into the earth, these skills will not be able to be played, right? …… It may be mean to build that trust on your miserable ground, but it's true. ”
Ye Tao looked at Chen Kai. Chen Kai's eyes were not angry like this, but with all the emotion and firmness of a person who was trusted and expected. Ye Tao said: "Since you are the only one in the Chen family, you have to carry the burden of the ancestors." There is no doubt that Chen Jia is the most corrupt official in history, no matter what purpose he did it. And now, in this position, can you win a different reputation for the Chen family? Use your efforts to prove that the Chen family is an expert in financial management, the Chen family understands all the tricks of money, and the image of greed in everyone's mind is different. ”
"Live up to the expectations of adults." Chen Kai knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said in an excited voice: "Chen Kai is driven by adults in this life, if I, Chen Kai, can be fortunate enough to restart the Chen family's lineage, and the Chen family will always be used by adults." ”
Belch...... Ye Tao hurriedly pulled Chen Kai up. After coming to this time and space for so many years, he almost forgot that there was such a thing as the spirit of Wang Ba, and that the traverser should be loyal to the personal allegiance of talented people. It was the first time he had encountered such a scene.
Chen Kai, who was extremely weak, got up as soon as he pulled it. Ye Tao hurriedly said: "Don't come to this set, I didn't treat you as a good person." I...... He has always been afraid to speculate on people with the greatest malice. ”
Chen Kai didn't answer, and the smile on his face began to come alive. Yes, Ye Tao wanted him to go to the Third Civil Affairs Department not because he regarded him as a good person, nor because he trusted him much, but because he had no reason not to do a good job now. However, the fact that he was taken into account was in itself a great blessing. And the feeling of being expected is really good. Ye Tao's arrangement is tantamount to pointing out a path for Chen Kai that may not be brilliant and may be full of thorns, but it is worth fighting for.
After spending another two days in Yuhang, the official text of the agreement finally came out. After Ye Tao read it carefully, he signed it as the minister presiding over the negotiations, and then sent the text of the agreement back to Danyang by 600 miles of express delivery. After that, he spent two days at the bell tower construction site in Yuhang Port to help plan some technical difficulties. Ye Tao felt that the craftsmen in Chunnan were too "optimistic" in their estimation of geographical conditions, and that they did not have enough margin of strength to deal with disasters such as typhoons, tsunamis, storms, blizzards, earthquakes, and landslides. In particular, the hill on which the bell tower was built was not a very solid rock structure, but a hilly form of a mixture of rock and earth, and if it rained heavily for a month or more, the structural strength of the entire mountain might not be good. The craftsmen of Chunnan are not unaware of this problem, but the officials who came to supervise the construction urged them to do so, so that this is a face-saving project, and they must be built well and quickly, and on the other hand, it is also because they do not have this idea of leaving a design margin for a once-in-a-century disaster. In recent years, natural disasters have occurred, and no matter what happens, everyone thinks that God is going to do something, so they pinch their noses and throw it away. And even if you think of it, what can you do? Chunnan has no solution to these problems.
At this time, Ye Tao sold a lot of favors to Chunnan. He said that a construction team from Yip's Workshop could be summoned here to teach low-pressure grouting techniques and piling techniques to strengthen the foundation.
Next, after watching the formal rehearsal of Liu Xiangyuan's troupe, Ye Tao and his entourage took two Huya ships and headed for the island where the Seven Seas Trading Company was holding an important meeting.
